Political leadership unable to understand people's problems: PM

Opposition's sole and desperate goal is to save their families looted wealth and corruption: PM

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that problem in Pakistan during COVID-19 is of a political leadership that has never gone through any democratic struggle, nor worked with ordinary citizens to understand the problems they confront, nor contributed in any substantive way for betterment of ordinary citizens.

Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a series of tweets criticized opposition parties and their leadership and said that these "leaders", whose families looted national wealth to impoverish Pakistan’s masses, lack any empathy with the general public. These entitled "leaders" living like royalty in their secluded mansions, have simply inherited their positions because of their families, he added.

Imran Khan claimed that opposition leaders’ sole and desperate goal is to save their families looted wealth and corruption of which they are an integral part. This is all that guides their politics, not any concern for the lives of ordinary citizens, he said.

He, while criticizing opposition for holding rallies, said that when government imposed smart lockdown to save poor from becoming destitute and save economy from total collapse, these "leaders" opposed and demanded complete lockdown but now, with new spike, when country again need smart lockdown, opposition want to hold jalsas not caring for the lives and safety of people.

The prime minister said that opposition think this is their last means of pressuring government for NRO but it will never happen.

Having never worked a day in their lives, their "shahi" lifestyles are directly dependent on saving their families ill-gotten, illegally acquired wealth through robbing, he added.
